Description

Covenants against Competition in Franchise Agreements 4th Edition Michael R Gray ISBN 9781639052257

Covenants Against Competition in Franchise Agreements, Fourth Edition offers a comprehensive comparative analysis of non-competition restrictions in the franchise context across North America. Organized in a clear and consistent format, this edition enables practitioners to quickly assess and compare how different jurisdictions approach the enforceability of restrictive covenants in franchise agreements.

For each state or jurisdiction, the book examines key legal and practical questions, including whether covenants against competition are specifically addressed in franchising, how courts define the franchisor’s “legitimate interests,” and the time, geographic, and activity limitations courts have deemed reasonable. It also explores whether jurisdictions distinguish between in-term and post-term covenants, permit enforcement against non-signatories, or allow courts to modify or “blue-pencil” overly broad restrictions.

In addition, the guide analyzes when a non-compete period begins to run and highlights unique nuances or jurisdiction-specific approaches that may affect enforcement. By presenting this information in a uniform, side-by-side framework, the Fourth Edition serves as an essential reference for franchise counsel navigating the complex and evolving landscape of covenants against competition.
